Description

HERAFitter project provides a framework for Quantum Chromodynamics(QCD) analyses related to the proton structure. Based on the factorisation concept, HERAFitter allows determination of parton distribution functions(PDFs) from the various hard scattering measurements. Diffractive PDFs as well as alternative approaches to DGLAP can be used to analyse DIS data at low-x with HERAFitter. Here we also report a set of PDFs determined using HERA data and preserving correlations between uncertainties.
